Trump administration fires senior Navy female officer at NATO. She appeared on a 'woke' list
U.S. officials say Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, was fired over the weekend by the Trump administration.
Summary
The Trump administration fired Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, reportedly due to past statements supporting diversity.
Chatfield, a decorated Navy pilot and Afghanistan veteran, appeared on a conservative “woke” watchlist targeting senior military officials who promoted DEI.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, leading the anti-DEI campaign, made the call, though it's unclear if Trump directly ordered it.
Chatfield is the third top female officer dismissed under Trump. Critics warned the firings undermine military leadership and damage U.S. alliances.

Smart to let all the experienced people go, now the resistance can no longer turn them.
It's the rise of the Empire
Watching Bad Batch or Rogue One nowadays is like looking in a mirror
It's the fall of the empire, America never had a golden era of the Republic.
Fall of the republic, rise of the empire. Rome. We had some good decades with an actual middle class. Always room for improvement but the 80s-early 10s were overall pretty good for most Americans.
That was the beginning of the collapse, when American politicians finally reversed the advances made by their economic base during the postwar boom and started capturing the value of our increasing productivity for themselves.
You're not wrong but it allowed a few generations to be quite comfortable. Stole our future for their comfort at the time but that the comfort existed and could have continued without such greed is just another nail in the laissez faire capitalist coffin.
It allowed segments of that generation to be comfortable at the expense of the rest of that generation.
Large segments. There's never a perfect golden age anywhere if we only look at poverty.
If the rising tide doesn't lift all boats then it can't be said to be a golden age, merely a gilded one.
Then nowhere has ever had a golden age.
True, and indicative.
The mythical golden age of the past is a core component of fascist ideology.
I mean, sure if you don't count the pandemic that killed millions of Americans...
By replacing all the experienced, knowledgeable people with blind loyalists, they have given the Resistance the gift of competence. When the revolution comes, the resistance will have intelligent, competent, experienced people to lead them against the idiotic MAGA Nazis.
In addition, there are thousands of good people still working there, who are proud of their work with the government, and hate what has happened to their leadership, their colleagues, and their agencies. Those people will be ripe for recruitment as moles, leaks, sabotage, etc., while the MAGA Nazis will only have ignorant dolts to count on.
It won't matter if they have the big weapons, if the people they are counting on to operate them turn them against the government, or destroy them in advance.
there are thousands of good people still working there
